What’s (very) different this time around is that you’ll now be able to click, drag, push and pull on different parts of your character to customise their look.

What about the eyebrows and eyes, or ears and face – do you want these features to be higher, closer together, larger or further apart? Again, simply by clicking on the feature and pushing around you create a Sim basically exactly in the style that you want, and you can also adjust things like height, weight, fitness level, skin tone, hair and clothes all from within this one tool.
